Re: [cpp-netlib-devel] Offer of help

[Reetesh M. <ree...@gm...>]

Hi Divye,

I am currently developingcode/design for XMPP protocol (the protocol behind
gtalk, jabber). I am keeping track of progress at cpp-netlib, though both in
philosophy and application, xmpp is different from netlib. As Dean has said,
parsing is one of the greater issues for cpp-netlib, so is the case for
xmpp. Moreover xmpp is a p2p client, so all issues related to p2p
communication comes in picture.

I have put some code related to xmpp. Though, I am currently redesigning
many a thing. Since the design is not very clean/clear yet, so I am skeptic
whether it can be piece for GSoC or not. Nevertheless you are welcome to
work on it, if you want to work for long term, :)

Regards,
Reetesh Mukul
